Congratulations! I'm having mine on 6/29 and can't wait.

I was just scheduled for mine on 6/28!

Congrats! It'll be here before you know it. Use this month to find a therapist if you don't have one already and to work on getting into good habits - weighing/tracking what you eat, not drinking with meals, etc. :)

Congrats Nicole!!!

I'm new on the forum and my surgery date is set for 6-16-2017. I'm on day 4 of my 2 week pre-op diet and so far...there have been no victims in my home. I am surely in full blown ketosis and the cravings have subsided. I am tracking everything via journal. I have dropped 4.8lbs in the 4 days of pre-op. So 4 days down 10 to go!! Stay strong ð?'ª?!!

Is your pre-op diet a full on total liquid or a calorie restriction diet?

My Doctor did put me on full liquids with the caveat that if I get hungry it's ok to eat 4-6 ounces of lean protein and 1 cup of vegetables. For this 1st week I am doing that and watching very closely carbs and protein. I'm making sure I am under 20g of carbs to maintain the Ketosis in order to burn stored glycogen in the liver (shrinking liver). My day consists of 2 shakes and the 1 meal. I also purchased a variety of protein shakes (premier Protein, Atkins, muscle milk) in addition to what my Dr provided (Chike is his preferred protein shakes).

One protein Shake in the morning another for lunch and 4oz of chicken with a cup of vegetables.

My mom said she caughting it, she gave me a half of cup of veggies instead of the cup. I want it all!!! My house is in one piece, 10dayd to go!!!

I have been approved by my insurance and the date changed to 7/6/17. I am on day five of my pre-op diet, this is tough. However, I am committed with a great support system!!! 10 days to go!!!
